Ha! Tina, I KNOW I thought that too, but that who song is weird. But according to unverified Wiki info Bruce Springsteen wrote it and it had some odd references. (I didn’t know that he wrote it and released it first.

I’ve always been a lyrics person . . . but, this is difficult as I’m not sure what ‘genre’ the songs are in/from and I guess without hearing the music I’m clueless. That ‘Blinded By The Light’ song always got me too! I was so excited when I finally figured out what the meaning of Calliope is or rather what it is and where it comes from. You know that Bruce Springsteen wrote that song, right? It wasn’t someone from Manfred Mann’s Earth Band (theirs was the popular version and I didn’t know for the Longest time that Bruce Springsteen wrote it). Anyway, I cannot guess “B”, however, I have to be a little perturbed with you now as I have the song “Turning Japanese” stuck in my head!!

Stacy’s make me laugh because I remember those lyrics from high school. And I KNEW she would be able to remember some of them because it seems like one of us was always hearing the lyrics wrong and coming up with funny stuff.

And, Fredrika, OMG! I have no idea and she keeps giving me clues.

Fred’s:

Ok, here goes:

A, I’m a cheater in a brothel – Christina Aguilera

B, Devil in the sky – (You’re a) Devil in the sky – Elvis Song

C, It’s a fire downtown – It’s from ca 1985 by a Swedish group, play it in any disco anywhere in the world and everrybody starts jumping up and down. This is arock song with not that many words but a very well known synth solo…

Well?

And, I love that people have brought up “I think I’m turning Japeanese” on my blog because blogs with SEX and masturbation get more hits! And you do know that song is about masturbation, right?

Okay…I’m getting all confused with all the posts. The answers to mine are:

A. Gladly the Cross I’d Bear (old Christian tune sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford)– I always thought he was singing about a crossed-eyed bear named Gladly
B. Someone guessed this one correctly: Mares Eat Oats and Does Eat Oats and Little Lambs Eat Ivy — I was 30 years old before I figured this one out – duh!
C. Hold on Loosely (by Loverboy)

Yeah, I was thinking it might get a bit confusing that is why I put it all in one big comment.

I don’t think I have ever heard “Gladly the Cross I’d Bear.” Or if I have not often enough to recognize it. But that is so funny. I wonder how many bears are name Gladly. Quite a few I would guess—-after that song!

I still don’t get you “B”. Like I have said in response to another comment, I don’t know that song.

Oh, I might not know the “Hold On Loosely” from Loverboy. I was thinking it was the one I know from .38 Special.

“Just Hold On Loosely, but don’t let go
If you cling to tightly,
you’re gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in”

I wonder if I can do my comments differently? Sometimes I hate “templates” because there are things you like on them and things you don’t but it is a package so you are stuck. I like comments that are all in a line . . . . . I will see what I can do, if anything. Maybe people just have to reply to the comment? I see if differently in the admin part . . . .

As is I’m a genie in a bottle – and here’s the best part. It was ME. I was 19. I sang Cheater in a Brothel happily for a year or so… And this was after the semester I spent in Oxoford, learning English…

As for the tird one, it is It’s the Final Countdown by Europe. I thought it made the charts in the US, perhaps not. Listen to it on youtube and tell me if you’ve heard it 🙂

Ok, I just posted on FB that we didn’t get this because I hadn’t checked this before I posted. Yes, Final Countdown was popular here. And to tell you honeslty, I JUST heard this song. Someone or something was using it for a theme, but I can’t remember who . . . . oh, I think the DJ’s before John’s son’s show were using it as their ending music, but I am not sure . . . SOMEONE was using it. And it made the charts here, but that was a long time ago and I would have never remembered.

But, make note of your “wrong” lyrics you remember or ones that you just come up with as you listen to music, but I could use this as a regular feature! Maybe once a month!
